Jude 1:1-5
Salutation
1:1 From Jude, a slave of Jesus Christ and brother of James, to those who are called, wrapped in the love of God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ.
1:2 May mercy, peace, and love be lavished on you!
Condemnation of the False Teachers
1:3 Dear friends, although I have been eager to write to you about our common salvation, I now feel compelled instead to write to encourage you to contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.
1:4 For certain men have secretly slipped in among you – men who long ago were marked out for the condemnation I am about to describe – ungodly men who have turned the grace of our God into a license for evil and who deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
1:5 Now I desire to remind you (even though you have been fully informed of these facts once for all) that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, later destroyed those who did not believe.

Salutation

Proverbs 25:6
25:6 Do not honor yourself before the king,
and do not stand in the place of great men;
Luke 14:8-11
14:8 “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast,
do not take
the place of honor, because a person more distinguished than you may have been invited by your host.
14:9 So
the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this man your place.’ Then, ashamed,
you will begin to move to the least important
place.
14:10 But when you are invited, go and take the least important place, so that when your host
approaches he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up here to a better place.’
Then you will be honored in the presence of all who share the meal with you.
14:11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but
the one who humbles
himself will be exalted.”
